I came back and saw him and my 2 kids each holding what appeared to be a kid's scoop. I was annoyed and asked why did he get a kid's scoop. He said that was the regular scoop. I used to work at Baskin Robbins and that was the exact same size. I tried his and I didn't like it. Honey lavender was good but left me thirsty. Definitely not worth it. Gave it 3 stars because my kids still liked it. And there's no restroom.

But on a recent Quilt shop hop, imagine my surprised to discover the Quilt store was two doors down from Stafford's. I think that was a sign that I had to go visit. The double sign was that the quilt shop gave away coupons during their event for one free piece of chocolate. So for my free piece of chocolate, I chose the red wine truffle. Oh my goodness, I had to close my eyes to savor it, the taste was that sensational! The shop itself is beautiful. It has tables inside so you can sit and enjoy their confections. All of the shelves are lined with all kinds of specialty chocolates. These include chocolate covered nuts, truffles, bars, Pops, and all kinds of delicious concoctions. You can order single pieces at the front counter for an individual choice and they will compose a box of your selections. They also had many, many packaged items ready to go on the shelves. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about their offerings. They were willing to explain the different flavors; the cost of a box of six individual truffles which you can select was $12.50. There's parking in front of the shop on the street and also behind. It's nestled in the Porterville downtown area with multiple Restaurants and eateries very close by. One could have a fun day window shopping, lunching out and then popping by Stafford's for a sweet treat and to buy gifts to take home. Absolutely not to be missed!

They have different unique flavored…read morechocolates for different seasons but the local favorites remain the same and stand the test of time. I know everyone love the red wine truffle, but my personal favorite is their lavender truffle. Did I forget to mention that they have sugar free chocolates too for diabetics. Those sugar free ones are the best in town. I wish they have an even larger selection of sugar free chocolates bc those are truly amazing They also sell drinks like the Portervillian ( a specialty latte), various matcha flavored drinks etc. and have a loyalty card for drinks only. I can't wait to find out what else is in store as the months go by. Sometimes I find a sourdough loaf of bread sitting on the counter for sale. Wish I bought it cuz it was only there for like a week.

Some small‑town businesses grow the way good stories do, slowly, honestly, and with a kind of charm…read moreyou can't manufacture. Just Dough With It is one of those stories. I remember when they first opened on Pine Street, a tiny bakery with nothing but ambition, a mixer, and cookies that tasted like someone finally figured out how to bake nostalgia. Those cookies are still the heart of the place. Crisp edges, soft centers, warm enough to make you forget whatever else is happening in your day. Every week brings a new flavor, sometimes a surprise, sometimes a classic, but always worth stopping in for. It's the kind of bakery where you walk in expecting the usual and walk out with something you didn't know you needed. When they expanded to E Street, the space grew but the soul didn't change. Same cookies, same warmth, same feeling that you're supporting a business that actually cares. And now they've franchised into downtown Visalia, a small victory for a bakery that started with nothing but dough and a dream. I haven't been yet, but I already know what I'll find: the same honest cookies and the same friendly faces. Their fruit smoothies deserve their own mention bright, fresh, and surprisingly good. The kind of drink that reminds you that small towns can still surprise you. And the staff? They talk to you like you're already a friend. No corporate scripts, no forced smiles. Just real people running a real business in a real town. Parking is simple, just street parking, no designated lot. It's part of the charm, really. You pull up, grab a cookie, and blend right into the rhythm of Exeter. And here's what makes Just Dough With It even more special: they don't just sell their own treats. They support other small businesses by stocking local chocolates, honey, popcorn, rice crispy treats, and more. It's a bakery that doubles as a showcase for the community, proof that when one small business grows, it lifts others with it. Working in town, I get coworkers asking me to pick up a few cookies on my way out. Friends call me after trying the place for the first time, telling me how good everything was. That's the mark of a true local gem, when people don't just enjoy it, they remember it. Just Dough With It isn't trying to be a destination bakery. It's trying to be part of the town. And it succeeds, one cookie at a time.
